Canadian world champion decathlete Pierce LePage to miss Paris Games with herniated disc
Canada has lost one of its top medal hopefuls for the Paris Olympics after world champion decathlete Pierce LePage pulled out with a back injury.
The 28-year-old from Whitby, Ont., said he and his team tried to get ready for the Olympics, and until recently he was still confident he would be able to compete. “The last couple of months have been pretty draining, to say the least,” LePage said. “It’s really tough to see your dream kind of slip away from your hands.”
